Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf restated his allegation about India's "involvement" the insurgency of Baloachistan. Although he maintained that he has proof to support his allegation, he did not furnish it. He called the tribal leaders "selfish" and said his Government was determined to squash the rebellion. Tribal leaders in Baloachistan call Musharraf a liar and reject his allegation of India's involvement. Pakistan says that only the constabulary is involved in the current strife in that province. However, it is hard to explain the air force combat planes, helicopter gun ships, and artillery being deployed in an obvious use of excessive force to quell the rebellion. Pakistan wants to proceed with its economic projects in the region including gas pipelines and dams to harness water and power. The controversial Kalabagh dam expected to be complete by 2016 will cut off water to Baloachistan, which is mostly a desert thus threatening the very existence of Baloach. Although the killing in Baloachistan has not reached the levels of erstwhile East Pakistan, the lack of sensitivity of the army to local populations seems to be a pattern of behavior.
